Deanne (mgr), Renee, (the groundskeeper and landscaper) , and Kathy guest service Specialist AND the man on the grounds at night were AMAZING. So welcoming, friendly and helpful it was really wonderful. I am in hotels 2.5 weeks a month for work. So. I AM PARTICULAR AND somewhat spoiled. This place is an ABSOLUTE GEM!!!!
Beautiful grounds, excellent complementary coffee and breakfast. The place has a very friendly relaxed vibe. And it is fantastic for dogs. I loved the pet area the nightly S’more’s by the fire pit!

This place IS A GEM!!! Very pet friendly, nice staff, grounds are beautiful, complimentary breakfast is really, really good. This place has a great location close to everything. It has a pet “relief” area, cute pool and laundry!!! It is right on River Road but the cars going by didn’t bother me at all. Close parking so helpful. I LOVE the fire pit lit every night with complimentary S’mores makings. Like I said IT IS A GEM. I felt so welcome and “at home”. I am a solo traveler with a big MOOSE of a lab, and it was not a problem at all. Also, very reasonable pet fee. Truly a GREAT find. Everyone working there was super nice.

They are pretty strict with their check in time at 5pm but the checkout time is at 12pm. So it didn’t bother us at all. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. It’s a 10/10!

While we were only able to stay one night due to our plans to travel up the Coast of California, we truly enjoyed everything about the quant and laid back lodging near the Russian River. Close to town, but still far enough down the road to feel the getaway vibe. Loved the huge Redwood trees, smores at the fire pit, and an amazing grab and go style breakfast, which we enjoyed back at our room. Would stay here again without hesitation! Great Place!

THIS is a special property, more than a hotel. It’s an Inn of cottages that pulls you in. The owner and staff is genuinely friendly and helpful. This is my second stay here and both times felt like I was ‘home’. I was even upgraded to a larger room just because they had it available. Oh, and the breakfast that is provided is off the charts satisfying. Another sweet offering there is their fire pit that is a circle of warmth—with s’mores and new friends to make.
I will always stay here when in the area. They have won a customer for life

The cottage I stayed in was up a small hill. Inside the cottage was slanted. I could feel the slant in bed. My man concern however was that was no inside lock on for for safety. I lost likely will not stay here again due to no inside lock. IliPerhaps bc I’m from a large city.

You could see the sag in the mattress when you walked in. When you sat on the bed, you could ferl the springs in the mattress. You would roll to the edge of the bed because the sag was so vad. I initially thought was a futon mattress

My girlfriend and I came to visit Guerneville for our 4 year anniversary and I booked the Cottages. It was the perfect place for us to stay and celebrate our 4 years together. The staff and owner Deann were so warm, incredibly homely and super friendly. They made my girlfriend and I feel so welcome and we felt like family the entire time. When I was warming up for my morning run, Deann suggested a safer path through the residential area that I was grateful for and enjoyed even more than my original route!
I had called ahead to Deann to see if the team would be able to do something special for the occasion and they got us the most beautiful purple roses and balloons we have ever seen! They also gave us an upgrade to the treehouse room which had the most amazing outdoor shower! In the cold November morning, a hot outdoor shower was absolutely amazing. The property is also home to 3 orange cats who are super friendly and so so cute

These cottages are very cute, although they are located on a very busy road that can be noisy.The continental breakfast was the best breakfast I think I have ever had included in a stay. Quiche, breakfast sandwiches (ham, Swiss, sliced hard boiled egg with aioli on ciabotta), oatmeal and baked goods. The property provides fixings for s'mores at the fire pit. Only negative is the mattress wasn't very comfortable. Another positive is Stumptown Brewery is across the street, good beer and food!
